# ACL
-How about adding ACL? So that you can control which users are allowed
-to read, write certain pages. The moinmoin wiki has that, and it is
-something, that I think is very valuable.
-
-> ikiwiki currently has only the most rudimentary access controls: pages
-> can be locked, or unlocked and only the admin can edit locked pages. That
-> could certianly be expanded on, although it's not an area that I have an
-> overwhelming desire to work on myself right now. Patches appreciated and
-> I'll be happy to point you in the right directions.. --[[Joey]]
-
->> I'm really curious how you'd suggest implementing ACLs on reading a page.

-
->>>> Which would rule out openid, or other fun forms of auth. And routing all access

# Canonical feed location?
-Any way to use `inline` but point the feed links to a different feed on the
-same site? I have news in news/*, a news archive in news.mdwn, and the
-first few news items on index.mdwn, but I don't really want two separate
-feeds, one with all news and one with the latest few articles; I'd rather
-point the RSS feed links of both to the same feed. (Which one, the one
-with all news or the one with the latest news only, I don't know yet.)
-
-> Not currently. It could be implemented, or you could just turn off the
-> rss feed for the index page, and manually put in a wikilink to the news
-> page and rss feed. --[[Joey]]
-
->> That wouldn't use the same style for the RSS and Atom links, and it

->> find it.

-# Using with RCS?
-
-Any examples of using co(1), ci(1) and other RCS related tools with ikiwiki?
-
-> I don't belive that RCS offers enough SCM features to be useable as a
-> fullfledged backend to ikiwiki. For one thing, there's no way to have
-> hook scripts run when changes are ci'd, is there? So you'd have to ci and
-> then manually run ikiwiki. It should be possible to do an RCS backend
-> that supports web commits with ci, and history (parsing the rcs files by
-> hand?). If you're a masochist. :-) --[[Joey]]
-
->> It does have history using rlog(1) which is similar format to "cvs log".
->> I don't think it has any possible hooks. What would happen if I call
->> ikiwiki directly from rcs_commit? (I didn't try yet.) On that note,
->> I don't see any way for ikiwiki to generate a single file, but I guess
->> that doesn't matter as --refresh should be fast enough.
->> I made a Rcs/rcs.pm plugin from Stub. I have been testing it some.

# Disable sub-discussion pages?
-Any setting to disable having a discussion of a discussion?
-The [[features]] page says every page, but I don't want every page.
-I do want discussion subpage, but I don't want to have, for example: discussion/ discussion/ discussion.

+# Access Keys
+
+Would anyone else find this a valuable addition. In oddmuse and instiki (the only other
+wiki engines I am currently using, the edit, home, and submit link tags have an
+accesskey attribute. I find it nice not to have to resort to the mouse for those
+actions. However, it may not be something everyone appreciates. Any thoughts?
+--[Mazirian](http://mazirian.com)
+
+> Maybe, although it would need to take the critisism at
+> http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/accesskey.html into account.
+
+>> Thank you for that link. Given that the edit link is the first thing you tab to

-# wiki\_file\_regexp and RCS ,v files
+# Editing the style sheet.
-I have RCS ,v files in my source directory. But get many "skipping bad filename" warnings.
+It would be nice to be able to edit the stylesheet by means of the cgi. Or is this possible? I wasn't able to achieve it.
+Ok, that's my last 2 cents for a while. --[Mazirian](http://mazirian.com)
-Also I don't see wiki\_file\_regexp documented. Because it is used with $config{wiki\_file\_regexp} I assume it can be set in the ikiwiki.setup.
-I added a comma to it in my IkiWiki.pm in the defaultconfig(). But that was wrong (so I reverted back), because then the ,v files were copied to my www tree.
+> I don't support editing it, but if/when ikiwiki gets file upload support,
+> it'll be possible to upload a style sheet. (If .css is in the allowed
+> extensions list.. no idea how safe that would be, a style sheet is
+> probably a great place to put XSS attacks and evil javascript that would
+> be filtered out of any regular page in ikiwiki). --[[Joey]]

+# Disable build/install requirement on PerlMagick
+
+Some installs of PerlMagick require X11. I tried to first disable using "img" by using "--disable-plugin img"
+in the Makefile. But still failed. My workaround was to remove "img" from the bundle in IkiWiki/Plugin/goodstuff.pm
+before building. What is the recommended way to install ikiwiki without "img" support? --[[JeremyReed]]

+# Documentation for banning users?
+
+The [[todo]] page says admins can ban users. Where is this documented? I search the source and found
+set\_banned\_users() which led me to the CGI "preferences" form for the admin. Now logged in as an admin (as defined in my setup configuration),
+I see the field for this. But no details on how to use it. From the source it appears to be a space-delimited list of usernames. (I didn't test yet.)
+
+Can you please provide a [[/banned_users]] documentation about "banning" users function linked from the [[Features]] page and maybe [[security]] page and linked from the "preferences" for the admin?
+(I don't do this myself as I am unsure about this and still reading the code about banning users.)
+
+----
+
+# Documentation for locking pages?
+
+The [[features]] page, the [[todo]] page and the [[usage]] manual page say pages can be locked and only the admin can edit locked pages.
+Where is locking pages documented? ... A moment later, from searching source I found this is configured via the preferences for the admin
+and that links to [[pagespec]].
+
+Can you please provide a [[/page_locking]] doc about locking pages linked from the [[features]] page and elsewhere? And have that link to [[pagespec]]?
+(I don't do this myself as I am unsure about this and still reading the code about locking pages.)

+
+# RecentChanges should show path to wiki sub-pages?
+
+The RecentChanges only shows the final file name for the recently changes file,
+for example "discussion". It would be more useful to see "index/discussion"
+or the path to the sub-page. I think this is handled by the htmllink() routine.
+
+>> IMHO it's a good idea and I like it. Often I can see changes in

+

-What is the correct way to include ,v RCS revision files in my source tree without receiving the "bad" messages and without copying over to www tree?
+# Should not create an existing page
--- [[JeremyReed]]
\ No newline at end of file
+This might be a bug, but will discuss it here first.
+Clicking on an old "?" or going to a create link but new Markdown content exists, should not go into "create" mode, but should do a regular "edit".
